Description

Currently, the URI's for the SPDX spec version 2 elements are used. I don't think there is anything in the spec that would give guidance.

Research direction

Start by comparing the SPDX 2.X and 3.X specifications for external document references and the URI guidance available in each. Document or decide how conversion should handle the existing SPDX 2 element URIs, with the result stated clearly enough to guide implementation.
